they exert much more influence in syria, which has been their allies for a number of years. they exert far less in egypt or libya, but it is a nation state with its own interests in the region and we should not be surprised. host: john kerry altoona, pennsylvania. -- john, altoona, pennsylvania. are you with us, john? caller: hi. my question is, as far as coming up on the anniversary, with bin laden being right underneath pakistan's military base, what they have to say about not knowing he was there? guest: it is a head-scratcher. it would be the equivalent of living not too far from the west point in new york, on our own military academy. it raises questions about pakistan's involvement with al qaeda, and similar groups, but of course pakistan is pursuing its own interests as well, and knowing the united states will not be in afghanistan forever, and it is planning for the long term in its constants -- constant struggle with india, so it has aligned itself with folks that we of considered bad actors, and perhaps al qaida among them, though it is hard to say from open source

or are there no options in terms of syria? guest: at this point, it doesn't seem to be there are many options. when six, nine, 12 months ago there was an opportunity for the united states to intervene before an all out civil war, before the emergence of foreign elements in the fight in syria, the united states decided that this was too complicated a mission, and too difficult a mission, it was untenable, there was no appetite among nato allies and the international community, so the idea was to find some sort of diplomatic solution to the problem, to encourage the syrian opposition, which is fractured, to become more unified, and from there, work toward some sort of political or diplomatic solution. i think it was clear, though, that all of assad's incentives were to fight on and unfortunately, that's what we have seen. at the beginning of 2012, only three or 4000 people had died, now we're up to 23,000 people have been killed in this conflict and many more are likely to die: . and paying for subsidies, fuel and foodstuffs tha

starting the revolution in syria, do you have access to syria? the second question, how much free access to you did in israel? syria access is difficult. we are currently banned by the government because they do not like people going in there. we have built up a network of people that we know and trust, and they continue to feed us a lot of materials and video. they said that on youtube. it is all checked and verified, but we have been able to, despite restrictions, given excellent -- an accurate reflection of what is happening on the ground, and we will try to continue to do that. i've watched it on the number of occasions. the access there is normally very good. we have never had any significant issues. they have always treated us with respect. there is at least one international cable company taken off the air in israel because the israeli audience felt it was biased, but it was not "al jazzera." we interviewed, at times very harshly, representatives of the israeli government, but they felt what we were doing was honest and fair, and you can a
